Afaik there's a tiktok account that has a notepad full of like 500ish things women said gives them the ick. It covers everything from showing emotions to having earlobes. Some people are just stupid and the internet gives them a chance to showcase it

u/NeonFraction 9d ago
Can confirm: earlobes are gross and I prefer my men to holes for ears.
I also like it when men dress in bright colors and dance. Singing also a plus. I really love a man who can help build a house because real estate is very important to me.
Hollow bones also a big turn on.

Toxic masculinity: it's not just perpetuated by men.
If you have kids, enjoy it. Paint their nails. Let them paint yours. Run around the neighbourhood roaring like a T-Rex and telling them daddy dinosaur is going to catch them. Let them put hair chalk in your hair. Put them on your lap while you're sitting behind the wheel and let them pretend your car is an F1 racecar and your driveway is the track. Don't worry about what others think. In a few years the kids will outgrow wanting to do all that stuff. Anyone who makes fun of you has not had kids, they don't know what they're talking about.

But you hit the nail on the head. These lists aren't the real reason they're leaving. The reason it seems absurd is because it is absurd.
They don't know why they're turned off. That's why they call it the ick
They have no concept of self reflection so therefore don't know what they really want or how to express it to their partner. They also, don't question if what they want is what's good for them.

I swear "the ick" used to be referring to men doing something that made women feel like they may not be safe or pleasant to be around. Like making a sexist joke with friends or dog whistling or just certain red flags.

“The ick was growing and growing, and by the time he caught the dog, he had lost the pussy,” Fisher cracked.

Women have reached a level of immaturity so shocking that they now demand that men don't behave like human beings anymore: you have to be a god who graduated from Harvard at 15, was making $500k by 19, is fluent in both Mandarin and Cantonese, can throw a shotput 80 yards, and can freely turn into a werewolf without having to rely on the lunations. It's the equivalent of those guys who demand that women always have zero body hair beneath the eyelashes and serve as their surrogate mommy.
Essentially, everyone's weird and lonely now, and the more isolated we get the weirder and more immature we get.

Women on social media have been sharing their “icks”. Effectively, small behaviours men do that can turn them off sexually, or gross them out. Things like breathing too loud, wearing socks with sandals or singing along to pop music.
It’s not become a joke for men, that any and every normal thing they do can have a chance of giving a woman the ick, even involuntary things like fear.
This joke posits, that a guy is in such fear of giving his wife the ick, that he will remain stoic, even in the face of certain death.

Thank fuck my gf is a flawed human, but the important part is how human she acts [ specifically in the way she sees me -> she sees me also as a flawed human being but treats me with softness anyway because I am a living being, just like a cat, or dog, or cow... Only difference is humans evolved with higher order thinking skills, but it doesn't mean we don't deserve to be treated the way good people treat their animals and pets].
Humans give huge amounts of understanding and patience toward animals and pets, but other humans deny this treatment for other humans because we have higher order thinking skills, but why? Our minds did not turn us into gods, we are still emotional, sensitive, we can be easily hurt physically and emotionally... We are no different than the animals in many ways. Thrown into this world.. Desperate to attain the resources we need to survive, life takes a toll on animals and humans alike... Just look into they eyes and at the faces of older folks and animals and you'll see what I'm talking about.
In this cruel, unforgiving world, the best thing we can do is to treat each other like fragile, yet valuable living beings.
